La Mesa Redonda is a radio and television program produced by the Cuban Television that is broadcasted from Monday to Friday at 7:00 p.m.

The program was born on December 16, 1999, as a result of the campaign for the return of the child Elian Gonzalez to Cuba and the beginning of the battle of ideas.

It addresses current Cuban and foreign issues with the participation of a panel made up of journalists or other personalities from politics, culture, sports, depending on the topic being addressed.

This initiative, conceived by the historic leader of the Revolution, was created with the purpose of defending the truth and promoting the exchange of ideas in a context of media battle.
